A NEW K-5 SCHOOL IN HAWTHORNE
Introducing South Bay Classical Academy
Your child’s mind is naturally designed to learn, question, and grow.
At South Bay Classical Academy, we will inspire students to rejoice in the pursuit of knowledge, to reach deep understanding through the lens of an inquisitive mind, to become responsible citizens in a democratic society, and to utilize their wisdom to better the lives of others and their community.
OUR MOTTO
Sapientia Pro Humanitate
Wisdom for the Benefit of Humanity
Great minds and noble hearts are meant to serve others.
Through an engaging education focused on life’s deepest questions, your child will develop wisdom that extends far beyond themselves.

A Truly Unique Approach
Small Classes

Thoughtful Technology
Build strong foundations in writing and communication
Great Books
From Charlotte’s Web to Homer’s Odyssey—literature that explores timeless themes
Latin Foundation

We Teach How to Think
not what to think
Your child will develop intellectual tools that work across every subject…skills that last a lifetime.
Classical education succeeds because it works with your child’s natural development, not against it. For over 2,000 years, this approach has shaped history’s greatest minds by following one simple principle: teach children what they’re excited to learn when they’re naturally ready.
